Ground Conditions
Clear analysis for disputed conditions
Geotechnical questions can affect design, construction, performance, and allocation of responsibility. We help legal, insurance, and construction stakeholders assess the available evidence and understand the engineering issues at hand.
Site and Record Review
Review of drawings, reports, field records, photographs, correspondence, and other relevant project materials.
Technical Assessment
Structured analysis of soil, groundwater, foundations, slopes, retaining systems, and earthworks in the context of the matter.
Focus Areas
Issues we examine
Foundation Performance
Assessment of settlement, bearing concerns, movement, and foundation-related distress.
Earthworks and Grading
Review of fill placement, compaction, grading, drainage, and site preparation issues.
Slopes and Retaining Systems
Analysis of slope stability, retaining structures, erosion, and ground movement.
Water and Subsurface Conditions
Consideration of groundwater, drainage pathways, infiltration, and changing site conditions.
